The Metreon-Target plan finally moves forward, as does the dining angle. Sam Sifton says brunch is pretty much for people who are bored on a weekend day. That singing waiter got approved. The fight to save bluefin tuna gets dealt yet another blow. All that, plus Comstock, Globe, and Le Cheval.

At long last, plans for the Metreon revamp are going forward, with an ETA of 2012. Target is the headliner, but don’t forget the overhauled dining options, which will include a bunch of casual spots like La Boulange, Best of Burger, Chipotle, Mixt Greens, Brandy Ho’s, and more.

Sifton on brunch: “If people really wanted to eat something new and creative and interesting, odds are they’d really want it at dinner, under twinkling stars, and not on a weekend late morning under the sun.” [New York Times]
